[Intro]
Morning on the broken stone
Ashes in the square
A crown lay cold upon the floor
And sunlight entered there

[Verse]
They asked him to ascend at once
To wear the golden ring
But Caelwyn looked at tired hands
And said, First let us sing
For those who never saw this dawn
For those beneath the clay
For every voice the tyrant chained
But could not take away

[Pre-Chorus]
No feast began in triumph
No banners hid the scars
They opened every prison door
And counted every star

[Chorus]
When the Kingdom Sings Again
Let no heart be left in chains
Let the widows name the fallen
Let the children bless the rain
When the Kingdom Sings Again
Let the broken bells remain
For a throne is only worthy
When it listens to the pain

[Verse]
The throne was mended not with gold
But oak from village doors
With iron from the farmers’ plows
And stones from cottage floors
Caelwyn placed the shattered lute
Beside the royal seat
To show that every ruler kneels
Before the people’s feet

[Pre-Chorus]
And if the crown grows hungry
If pride begins to rise
The broken strings shall answer
With the truth beneath the lies

[Chorus]
When the Kingdom Sings Again
Let no heart be left in chains
Let the widows name the fallen
Let the children bless the rain
When the Kingdom Sings Again
Let the broken bells remain
For a throne is only worthy
When it listens to the pain

[Instrumental]
Oh-oh-oh, sing again
Oh-oh-oh, through the rain
Oh-oh-oh, field and glen
Oh-oh-oh, sing again

[Bridge]
Years may turn the tale to legend
Children may forget the fear
Minstrels may adorn the sorrow
Till the wounds no more appear
So carve it deep in every doorway
Teach it in the harvest grain
No kingdom lives by crowns alone
If the songs do not remain

[Breakdown]
Remember
The poor
Remember
The war
Remember
The song

[Build-up]
From Eldergate to Silent Keep
From tavern oath to palace deep
From hidden rune to open sky
The song survived because dreams don’t die
So raise the lute, repair the land
Build the future hand in hand
And should the darkness come again
Let every voice remember when

[Chorus]
When the Kingdom Sings Again
Let no heart be left in chains
Let the widows name the fallen
Let the children bless the rain
When the Kingdom Sings Again
Let the broken bells remain
For a throne is only worthy
When it listens to the pain

[Chorus]
When the Kingdom Sings Again
Through the valley, hill, and plain
Let the old songs guard tomorrow
Let the truth outlive the reign
When the Kingdom Sings Again
Let the broken bells remain
For a throne is only worthy
When it listens to the pain

[Outro]
Morning on the broken stone
No tyrant, no command
A bard looked out across the dawn
And sang for every land
